Holo is a bridge between the old internet and the new internet. The people who are running holo are the bridge builders who get paid for building the bridge. So, normal internet users don’t have to do anything new – they might not even know that when they visit a website, on the backend, there is a community rather than a company.

....

OSB: So, do you think Holo will help liberate decentralised co-operation at scale?

This concept of putting users in the middle will completely shift how co-ops can function. It will enable them to make use of the advantage that they have, which is diversity. What we are calling platform co-ops and protocol co-ops – coming together in alignment to create an ecosystem rather than just a network. So we can try new things and if they prove useful, they can propagate across the community and perhaps beyond. The “beyond” comes from the fact that users can bridge between different networks. That means that I can draw data from 5 or 10 apps and combine them together to create a more coherent user experience for myself. And I don’t need anyone else to agree to also use that particular configuration. If it works for me, I can put it to work.

We are thrilled to announce that Holo and Promether have teamed up for a Strategic Security Partnership.

Promether is an Adaptive Symbiotic Platform (ASP) that implements all the networking, security and anonymization code that applications need to protect their data. It places full control in the hands of the users by merging decentralized networks, state-of-the-art encryption, and distributed ledger technology.

After several months of discussion, we've come to terms for a partnership based on our mutual interest in each other's platforms from a development perspective. Promether will provide exclusive access to Alpha/Beta testing of the secure communication app Contact - the 1st Application Powered by Promether. Holochain will provide an adaptable platform for P2P apps within Promether's secure endpoints.

We solve multiple problems...-decentralized apps aren't popular and don't have access to the masses. Holo is the bridge.

-app platform that is scalable. Ethereum is hoping it can scale. Every app in our system gets its own holochain

-fiat creation of tokens or coins. This is a big one. The entire crypto currency bubble has its origins here. The more successful crypto becomes, the more coins are invented. All of them "scarce". Except the market hasn't realized just how few of these cryptos will go to zero.

We are the first mutual credit crypto in existence.

-mining/consensus dilemma. Bitcoin will increasingly look absurd the higher the price gets. If Bitcoin consumes around .1% of the world's electricity, what will it be consuming at 100k? 500k? The problem for Bitcoin and any proof of work currency is that the more successful it becomes, it cannibalizes electrical power over excessively in relation to it's need.

The real questions in order to invest long-term are:- how much will be Total Supply of the real holo fuel (not the ERC-20 token), will it be fixed?- how the price of holo fuel will be calculated? will it be determed from the market (demand and supply). I am asking this question, because holo fuel is not standard token, it is part from very different economics.

This will be a common misconception for people who haven't read the white paper. When Holo.host officially launches and you trade in your erc20 tokens for Holo fuel, the total supply will be 0 holo fuel.

this is a mutual credit crypto currency. Any positive balances must be offest by negative balances somewhere. This is the first crypto that is legitimately not fiat created.

Where is the negative balance to counter all of the erc 20 tokens? the team's account goes into the negative.

There are several other currency designs possible with holochain. Like other asset-backed currencies, capability tokens, etc. For me the flexibility of different types of new and interesting currencies is because not many projects have this in their design / DNA framework.

The team is not commenting on getting listed on exchanges due to regulatory concerns. You can see this is not a deterrent to being listed, however. If you look at Sirin, for instance, tellTheir FAQ has the ubiquitous question, "when binance" (paraphrasing)

Here is their response.

. Legal restrictions prevent us from discussing any conversations that may or may not be happening regarding the SRN appearing on exchanges.

Tokens are the bulls eye target right now, so teams taking the cautious approach are taking the best approach.

I bought a 1 million pieces of holochain in Hot exchange. But the problem is i can't withdraw them on that exchange how can i pull funds their and put it on my MEW or metamask wallet? Can anybody help me for this matter.

The holochain is based on the transfer of a large amount of information and bandwidth , and therefore the power consumption , how is this more ethical of the traditional blockchain , in the ecological sense ?

Information is sharded and held locally instead of globally. The DHt and local chains replaces the blockchain model.

Holochain itself has no currency, so in that way its existence doesn't require almost 1% of the world's coal and oil energy output just to continue operating (as btc currently does).

Currencies built on top of Holochain, like Holofuel, are designed to be mutual credit cryptocurrencies that don't have any mining. The energy consumption of hosting on Holo.host will be similiar to the energy you use to run your desktop computer all the time anyway.

How are you planning to warranty what is it hosted on my holoport , for exemple ,i mean it s forbidden to have bad thing hosted , for worst , bad pics with childs or else , its not legal to host this sort of thing , how can you or can i control that ? with a real free and decentralised system , its the thing i'm scared of. not only for me i mean

Couple of thoughts here...

1)Occasionally, Amazon Web Services ends up randomly hosting a website that does something illegal. BUT it is the content creator itself who is at fault, not the website hosting service. Generally speaking, open systems like Holo are going to be horrible for these sorts of illegal activites. For starters, privacy is not baked into the technology. So miscreants are already setting themselves up to be discovered

2) you aren't hosting an entire project, per se, but likely small fractions of data from an app. YOu can anticipate thousands and thousands of hosters proiding this service. It's quite likely illegal activity will have little usability or readability on your hosting side of things because it will be randomly fragmented

As for participating in the Holo ecosystem, I would say that any abhorrent activity I witnessed would lead me to contact the app developers ASAP.

So promising project. I 'm rarely going into an ICO , and most of case not confortable with it , but it was not the case with Holochain.I'm a little investissor but i like to be a part of nice projects

yes, keep in mind that the HoloToken (HOT) is a temporary token until the mainnet launches in 3-5 months. There is no hosting to earn HoloTokens. Once it properly launches (estimated Q3), then Holoports will earn Holo fuel and holder of HOT can trade in HOT for Holo fuel.

You got a few months before any hosting takes place.

Thanks for your answer, i cant wait to see how setup is on holoport i have call ICO, i now just bought 1 holoport and 1 +, it wont be logic to support a project just with ico if possible.Do you have any idea when holoport will be send ? and how we will log into our account to check holofuel from ico ?

HoloPorts should ship sometime this summer. We will have an official shipping announcement when the time comes.

For people new to this crypto, A holoport is used to host holochain distributed apps (hApps) but you COULD configure your own device to host. The holoport is designed to be rather easy to use and nearly all the set up is taken care of for you.

I want to know if it's now way too late to get in on this as it has already 5 xed from ICO. I am looking for some really promising lower cap new coins to get my teeth stuck into for a longer term hold. It's the top volume coin on IDEX at the moment and despite today's mini crash in the market, may day crash, This is going just up and up and not sure if I should wait for it to go down? I don't know if the volume will wane in a few days and I wait until then or just go in now and hope for the best?

Holo is unlike any other crypto, and the architechure of Holo, a Holochain, is also unlike anything out there.Coins like IOTA hit the scene as a first in their respective domain. In IOTAs case, DAGs. sure, there were others to follow, but everyone remembers the first as the leader.

Holo is the first mutual credit crypto in existence (to my knowledge). It's certainly the first one to have any sort of fan fare or direction. I suspect it will be a while before people even try a mutual credit cryptocurrency.

OTOH, Please keep your investments to an amount that you can buy and sit on without worrying about the price fluctuations.
